my truck has camber, but it straightens up really quick and gets alot of lift at low air pressure.

for the work involved, especially if you plan on running big wheels, hit up a junkyard and get a yota front clip. then you can just build 2x3 from there back.

IF ITS YOUR FIRST BODY DROP I DONT RECOMMEND BUILDING A FIREWALL BACK -- JUST NOTCH IT -- LINK IT AND Z THE FRAME AND GO TRADITIONAL -- THERE IS ALOT OF THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG IF ITS YOUR FIRST FRAME ---- TAKE YOUR TIME AND MEASURE 10 TIMES BEFORE U START CUTTING ANYTHING ---

Just stockfloor it. Do research, take your time and do it right the first time. Don't just traditional bodydrop it, z it and backhalf it, cause later you'd wish you woulda just stockfloored it.
